**North Korean Children Celebrate Summer by Swimming in “World-Class” Puddles Left by Gold Miners**
PYONGYANG—In Kim Jong Un’s ever-expanding list of Olympic events North Koreans didn’t ask for, children across the country have kicked off the season with “Extreme Survival Swimming”—in the gold mine pits flooding countryside neighborhoods.
State media announced on Wednesday that “thanks to the Dear Leader’s vision,” local children have received access to sparkling new “recreational aquatic facilities.” Independent sources confirm these “facilities” are, in fact, massive water-filled craters left behind by state-run gold mining operations, which coincidentally double as community pools and traps for wildlife, townspeople, and, now, an entire third-grade class.
Parents have expressed concern. “We always hoped for something like a wading pool,” whispered terrified mother Sun-hee, “but now my youngest is learning to swim by evading the mining company’s floating lunch box.”
Kim Jong Un reportedly unveiled a surprise “Gold Medal Challenge”—whoever survives the summer swimming lessons will be personally issued a commemorative rubber duck, carved hastily from surplus uranium.
Meanwhile, miners are allegedly petitioning for a raise, claiming the new “workplace hazards” include being fished out of their own pits by determined dads with homemade snorkels and fishnets.
A spokesperson for the regime assured TheJestPress.com, “Westerners pay big money to swim with dolphins. Here, our children swim with pyrite and unexploded dynamite. Beat that, SeaWorld.”
International observers have condemned the situation, but Pyongyang countered with a fresh, smiling photo op of Kim Jong Un standing next to a puddle, assuring hungry onlookers that “soon even our pools will be filled with liquid gold.”
Residents are still advised: No running. And definitely no cannonballs—unless you’re looking to strike it rich.
